The
National Museum of the American Coverlet
is the first independent, year-round institution
devoted to American woven coverlets.

NMAC gives coverlets the recognition and respect they deserve, while bringing their history to life.

The Museum opened in Bedford, Pennsylvania’s historic (1859) former Common School building in May of 2006. Since then, it has welcomed visitors from around the world.

NMAC offers changing exhibitions, generally showing 50 or more coverlets
at a time, along with special events, classes, and a Shop.

We are generally open
daily, seven days a week. You are cordially invited to
visit and take an informal guided tour. If you are traveling a distance, we encourage you to call ahead and let us know you’re coming. Plan your visit!
